About this work

A pencil drawing with light watercolour washes shows a sailing barge heavily loaded with hay, with several figures working on its deck beside a tall mast. A smaller sailing boat rests on the right, with a faint, unfinished background suggesting the shoreline. The sheet is inscribed with the artist's name and the date 1827, and is catalogued as a 1827 work by Cornelius Varley.
